Gardens can be a great place to find inner happiness as you work to achieve a goal... to grow food! This is a relaxed "coffee talk" with our friend Dev Rivers. She is an edible landscape specialist who designs gardens for your kitchen. We learn about sustainable lifestyle, gardening, tea gardens, and how to grow in different climates. You can grow any where you live. What a blessing to have Dev Rivers on the podcast.

It is Spring Time- which got me thinking about my garden. I am at my happiest when I garden! I  had the opportunity to hang out with Nicky and Dave from Grow My Own Food. They help with permaculture farm designs and are an encyclopedia of garden knowledge. This is a great listen.

Nicky and Dave sell great permakits they help the amateur farmers like us grow healthy food at home. They send you the seeds and information and you plant, it is that easy! They are NOT a sponsor of my podcasts, just GOOD people I like to talk to. Thank you for listening, and let's support GOOD people.  Below are their links to their website, products, and instagram. If you like to listen more about gardening or interested in homesteading you might also enjoy our podcast Food and Farm.

It is Valentine's Week and I thought, who to help us understand intimacy, then the intimacy expert to millions.Susan Bratton brings the wisdom of love to our ears. This was a fun conversation, and at times for me, a little bashful. Intimacy is something we do not speak of often when we think about our health. Our intimacy with our partners is part of our physical and mental desires. Below are the links to her books, materials, and websites.

Have you ever had a chance to speak with someone new and just immediately know these are good people? I had the pleasure of hanging out with Venae and Adam from Minerva Creamery, the oldest family owned creamery in the United States. I learned the ins and outs of their business. They are passionate about what they do and who they serve. This family is passionate about butter! It got me thinking about what we are passionate for.

This podcast was created to be an episode for a sister podcast called Food and Farm. After chatting with them I knew it would be a great conversation to post in MFGP as a bonus content episode. Please check out their links below and you can find a link to the Food and Farm Podcast as well. Thank you Venae and Adam!

This is a great follow up to one of my favorite conversations with Renie Cavallari, author of the book HeadTrash-The Leading Killer of Human Potential.

What a wonderful conversation today with Renie Cavallari.

Renie is the founder, CEO, and chief investigator of Aspire, a global transformational training and culture development. She is also founder of the RCI Institute, an active thinking and people technology lab. She is an award winning speaker, strategist, and author of the book HeadTrash.

We often think our struggle is fighting others for what we are wanting to achieve. I think more often is our negative thoughts that prevent us from achieving our greatest ambitions. These negative thoughts or HeadTrash fights with our inner self and binds to continue to stay in the boring day to day and never achieve new things. We think about what our peers will think, what social media will comment, or what it might impact me at work.

Renie helps us discover The Big Lie will tell ourselves, and how we can fight through your lie and become a better leader, spouse, employee, athlete, podcaster, YouTuber, or parent. Let's learn about ourselves and move forward. 

You need to check our book HeadTrash. I have been diving into her book for over a week and it has made me a better chef, podcaster, parent, and spouse by understanding My Big Lie and how to counteract that lie I tell myself to keep me from achieving.

The book was the first book that allowed me to lay groundwork to start making changes in my life. The book helps us understand that small changes, over time, help make the difference to sustainable life changes.

If you missed the last podcast you missed a great conversation with Gail Behrend, an energy healer who she herself went through this deep depression. We discussed her journey to self love and fixing her energy. Though we might disagree where that energy of "love" comes from (I may tend to feel it comes from a higher being), we both agreed that our energy is a moving force that goes through our body and into affects not only our health mentally and physically, both those around us as well. 

I want to challenge you to learn more about yourself and your energy. Listen to the podcast and I assure if you follow the challenge you will not be disappointed.
